 The federal government says the nation's GDP in the second quarter of 2021 recorded its highest increase for the first time in seven years. The Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed says this is the third consecutive growth the economy has witnessed since the exit in recession in 2020. This is signifying that the economy is returning to pre-pandemic stage. The non-oil sector contributes the highest to the current economic growth. The effect of insecurity has affected the agricultural sector, causing slow growth in the sector. Here today's GDP growth when you aggregate the first and second quarter is a growth rate of 2.7% in 2021. This when you compare the negative growth of minus 2.1% in the first quarter of 2020 is a very strong performance. Broadly speaking, the sub-sector recorded a strong performance growing by 9.27% during the supporting quarter representing the fastest growth in this sector since 2010. The second quarter growth of 2021 will have been more stronger than the 5.01%. I did not mean for agriculture which you call it a slightly lower growth at 1.30%. Due to a number of bottlenecks within the system, including security, which has negatively affected the sector due to the growth and also the industrial sector was impacted by a slowdown in growth by minus 1.23%. Thank you.
